Lovely finish from Hendo.
The foul for the WBA peno was so far outside of the box it was nearer to the Kop than it was to being inside the box.*


*may be a slight exaggeration.....

Lallana with Henderson assisting as well. Result is all that counts and a much needed 3 points. Gerard had a crucial last 15 playing further foward.  You have to wonder is it worth trying that from the start at the minute. Sterling is very poor at the minute. Fair enough he set up Hendersons goal well but his touch has been so poor. Nervy win but a win all the same.

Oh and the penalty was never a penalty. 'Twas a foul but a good 2 foot outside the box. How and ever maybe the luck is turning.

[laoislad]

It was an ok performance,nothing to write home about really.
Played well after the 2nd goal went in. WBA never really much of a threat all the same,and the penalty was obviously well outside the box,it was even obvious in real time and the ref had a decent view so I dunno how he got it wrong. 

The commentators on the stream I watched were praising the Ref for giving advantage on Liverpool's second goal. I'm not so sure he did,it was a penalty for the foul on Sterling I thought but from the Ref's reaction he wasn't giving it even if Liverpool hadn't scored. He wasn't playing advantage he just wasn't giving the peno.

I hope the ignorant oaf on the previous page lost a good few quid on the draw being a banker in today's game.....

Liverpool knew they needed to sign defenders in the summer , three more centre halves but still looked for attacking players
I like Rogers but he seems clueless about organizing a defense

He's gonna ruin sterling too from over use as the lad isn't ready or fully capable yet

3 more centre halves? Seriously?  I was banging on about defenders all summer when they were signing lads like markovic, lallana and lambert. But in fairness he signed Lovren, manquillo and Moreno. All 3 are upgrades on their counterparts last season. They just need to start playing like the defenders they are. To be honest, I think a lot of the problems come from Gerrard these days in that position. He can't protect them anymore.

Most def 3 more
Louvren is ok but not brilliant - but agree he is an upgrade on last year
Need another 3 as inj and suspensions happen over a long  season - but I'm sure you must realise that ??!!

[AZOffaly]

I cannot think of any club that has 4 top class centre halves.

Gerard is a cart horse.  Over rated and done. You Liverpool guys still see the legend in him so to criticise probably hurts ye deep

[AZOffaly]

I think if you look at this thread you'll see quite a bit of comment on Gerrards form. Legend of the club, but not able for that position these days. Try again.

[T Fearon]

Ferguson was right about Gerrard,alright for a club like Liverpool but not for a big club like Chelsea or Man Ure.

[lynchbhoy]

Man city I believe have 3 if not 4

Liverpool -
Two would be a start
Right now they have none - hence the dropping of points and poor def performance

Are you Brendan Rogers?

No, I'm not. But saying they need to sign 3 more centre halves is lunacy. Defending properly is more than just centre halves. Sure if you could get one more, but it'd be more in their line that start defending as a team and getting organised properly. You could put maldini and baresi in there and they'd be exposed. I think Lovren will be fine.
